COMBINATION-TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 355,481, dated January 4-, 1887 I Application filed Juno 7, 1886. Serial No. 204,352. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.- 4

Be it known that I, WILLIAM WALLACE SPARHAWK, of Scotia, in the county ofGreeley and State ofNebraska, have invented a new and Improved Combination-'lool, of which the followingis a specification,reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part thereof, in which Y Figure l is a side elevation showing the tool partly open. Fig. 2 is a side' elevation showing the tool closed. Fig. 3 is an edge view of the tool widely open, showing the graduations on the inner surfaces of the two parts of the tool.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings;

The object of my invention is to provide a simple and efficient combination-tool to be used as a hand-wrench, pipe wrench, wirecutter, wire-nipper, screw-driver, tack-drawer, measuring-rule, and for other purposes.

My invention consists in two arms pivoted together, one arm being provided with a chiseledged pointed hook at the free end thereof, the other arm having on its inner surface, near the end series of teeth and at the extremity, a screw-driver edge, the two arms being graduated on their adjoining faces to form a measuring-rule. I

It also consists in notches formed in the circular ends of the arms on opposite sides of the pivot for nipping and cutting wire.

' The arms A B are each provided with flat circularends a, projecting entirely from the adjoining faces of the arms. The arms are pivotally connected by a rivet, b, passing cen-' trally through the circular. ends a. The circular ends a, on opposite sides of the rivet b, are provided with notches c d, the notches of the two circular ends being capable of coin-" are rounded, to enable the arms to grasp wire for the purpose of stretching it without danger of severing it. The arm A is slightly curved near its free end toward the arm B, and its extremity is provided with a chisel-edged angled hook, e, which is inclined inward toward the pivot of the arm. The arm B is thickened near its free extremity, curved outward, and provided with sharp-edged teeth f, inclined outwardly, and upon the extreme free end of the arm B is formed a screw-driver edge, g.

The inner or adjacent faces of the arms A B is applied to a screw in the usual way, and

the arm A is employed as a lever for turning the screw. The arms'A B fold compactly together, the screw-driver edge 9 coming directly opposite the edge of the hook e, and the outer corners of the arms A B are rounded to permit of using the tool without injury to the hands, also to prevent the wear of the pocket 'in which the tool is carried.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A combination-tool formed of two arms, A B, provided with pivoted circular ends a, having opposite notches c d, forming wire-cutters, the arm A being provided with achiseledged hook, e, and the arm Bhaving teethf, substantially as set forth.

I 2. A combination-tool formed of the arms A B, provided with circular ends a, connected together by the rivet b, and having inoppo site edges notches c d, the arm A being provided with a chisel-edgedhook, e, and the arm B having series of sharp-edged teeth, f, and a screw-driver edge, 9, substantially as shown and described.

3. As an improved article of manufacture, a combination-tool formed of two arms, A B, provided with circular ends at, having notches c d, and the pivotal rivet 1), connecting the circular ends, the arm A having formed on the.

free end thereof a chisel edged hook, e, and the arm B having on the free end thereof the sharp-edged teeth f and the screw-driver edge both arms A B being graduated, substantially as-shown and described.

WILLIAM WALLACE SPARHAWK'.
